To get extrapolationtime to work you have to set GSExtrapolateFrame to 1, but i wouldnt recommend doing that if this works for you, besides 12 is a bit low?

i did research along with testing, and extrapolateframe was something like a lag setting for people with really nice computers.  i did this all a while ago, but 90% of the people who have tweaked settings would throw in random numbers and if they played well, they assumed it worked.  which is why a lot of people think this is all placebo.  what i found was, interp was the biggest factor(same goes for the majority of games with hitboxes),  interpolation is basically the time in milliseconds(i think, pretty sure it was milliseconds) you receive an update. so in theory, the smaller the gap between updates, the closer the hitbox will be to the player model.  in cs they have restricted settings that actually change the location of the hitbox, making you harder to hit.  another factor, (which is a pretty big one) is your internet.  for registration purposes, you would actually be better off playing on a dsl connection, rather than cable(assuming you could ping decent to the server you are on) because cable loses more packets than dsl, and the more packets lost, the less info the server has about where everyone is located.

its things like this that have made bf2 bad, there were a handful of players i know of, that without "good usersettings" would not play as well.  which is why i actually stopped using these settings, and gave them to anyone who wanted them.  i only used them if i was going to play against people who i knew had tweaked shit... thats why cod4 owns, you CAN tweak your config to register a little better, but even on stock settings you will hit fine.  but none of this info is useful for cod, because cod4 has no hitboxes.

lol ^.^ to answer the thread question tho... its a delicate subject, i define cheating as having an unfair advantage over your opponent.  which user settings clearly provide, but everyone has the ability to do this.  the majority just dont know how. the only way to put it to rest is; make modding it illegal or have a read me or something about how to tweak them...lol

All it does is makes nades not screw your vision up, or for people with shitty rigs, less lag

I agree with the fact that if you go in game with better benefits or vision that DEFAULT (except Distance) it's not fair to the other gamers online trying to KILL YOU!  it's not very skilled to be able to avoid flash bangs.....considering I'm workin on my EXPERT support now I DISAGREE 100% with altering your settings due to lag..... My opinion get a friggen better vid card homie or go smaller pix. LATA HATA
